Nice tribute

Departing Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge has taken to Instagram to post a heartfelt message to his successor - Jarryd Roughead.

Hodge also took the opportunity to thank Hawks fans for their support over his journey.

Here is what the caption read:

Captaining Hawthorn has been an absolute honour and privilege. I feel lucky to have held the title for the past six years but believe it is the perfect time for Rough to take the reins.I couldn't think of a more well rounded bloke to lead this club into the future and I’m rapt I’ll be around to support him in the role.I would like to thank every member of the brown and gold army for embracing me as your captain.It’s been a hell of a ride and although I won’t have the title this year, rest assured I’ll be working as hard as ever to bring success to our footy club.CheersHodgey..
